For those of you fortunate enough NOT to receive ITV, believe me you are missing NOTHING.
They are soon to air 'Queen Mania' which they've done before with Abba and Grease.
It is cringeworthy to the extreme on the UK's most cheesiest, cheapskate TV channels ever.
If anyone ever tells you that the UK do the best TV in the world..DON'T BELIEVE EM, it aint true (maybe 20 years ago it was!)
It'll consist of soap stars and B list celebs doing covers of Queen songs in fancy dress prancing around a TV studio, 'performing' to the lyrics literally like Pans People dancers used to do on TOTP in the 70s!
PLEASE...NON UK fans DO NOT ask for copies of this to be uploaded or put on DVD.
I can tell you now even before it's been aired it WILL be bad, VERY BAD and cringey.
I'm just surprised that Queen gave them their permission. I suppose it's all publicity for their tour.
It's typical of such a cowboy oufit like ITV to put out something naf like this when over recent years the BBC and channel 4 have done some real good quality Queen docs.

so if you don't like it, don't watch it.
i think it'll be a lot of fun - i'm not going to watch it to see Queen songs performed to perfection, but as a medium for getting the music 'out there' to the masses, this is a great idea.

ITV a cowboy outfit? hahaha! Nice one mate.
The show is fucking awful, especially that Toyah Wilcox, the worst cover ever! Lesley Garett has amazing tits though.
against my better judgement i watched it!!! yes i was disappointed only the chick from m-people(though she bottled trying the big note)and myleen(however you spell it) was any good and that was only cos she was the only artist who actually played an instrument and changed the song to suit her(a wise move)
dam was it crap!

Just as I envisaged....
ABSOLUTLEY AWFUL.
Both progs were quite simply the WORST 'Queen TV Progs' you ever likely to see.
All non UK Queen fans...You don't know how lucky you are NOT to receive such CRAP on yours TV on a Sat night.
DON'T even think about asking for a copy on DVD or on The Hub, it should be banned from the TV and NET forever.
QP will do anything for a bit of publicity for the tour.
If Cornation St wasn't so popular I'm sure ITV would have their Brodcast license revoked.
They must be the worst TV station on the planet churning out endless, cheap, 'throwaway' TV.

Actually John, Mel C did "One Vision". And G4 were their usual shit selfs. The best of this bad bunch? Well for me it was Myleene Klass.
